Didn't you mention that the USC's of the Pac 12 are in the "elite" category? (at least in football)... Aaand, this is the same team that got schooled in the bowl game by GA Tech.... I recall us doing the same thing to GA Tech. Ergo, how do we fare the same fate as Utah in the Pac 12 (or similiar conference)? And to further muddle the use of "logic" to figure out who's best, year after year after year, we also lose to Utah (3 times in a row) and San Jose State and Boise State (who beat San Diego State, who WE beat in our bowl game).

In other words, who's best in the long haul? Who knows - the athletes (and coaches) who are center stage change year after year so its always unpredictable. At the end of this past football season, I'd probably say TA&M was playing the best football on the field.
